## Resource

Hello, Hello! In this episode, AI hosts Alex Ivey and Allison Inverness explore the unconventional career journey of indie filmmaker Jennica Schwartzman , examining how she built a successful multi-hyphenate creative life without sacrificing family or integrity. They discuss her rejection of traditional linear career models in favor of a fluid, chapter-based approach that integrates multiple roles as actor, producer, writer, and parent. The conversation reveals how her background as a pastor's kid shaped her performance skills and fearless approach to grassroots filmmaking. We also talk about: • How growing up in the 1990s evangelical church culture provided unexpected creative training • Practical strategies for making film sets parent-friendly through structural changes • The psychology of grassroots fundraising and community relationship building • Why filmmakers should never waste social capital on short films • The importance of execution over talent in building trust within creative industries People, Places, Products, and References Mentioned: Jennica Schwartzman Purpose Pictures Productions TMDB (The Movie Database) Parker's Anchor Ridge Runners Gordon Family Tree XPK Podcast (Ex-Pastor-Kids, co-hosted with brother Marc Hampson) Movie Baking: The Indie Work-At-Home-Parent Filmmaker Behind the Screens DCLA Promise Keepers Fayetteville Travel Center Kickstarter We are humbled to have a community of creatives who care deeply about our work.
